Beat the 1pm Shine

Love it or hate it, you need to have oils in your skin. Sebum (the medical term for oil) is the lipid component of the skin that protects and keeps it waterproof. It’s a barrier preventing you from losing too much water and contains the antioxidant, Vitamin E to defend free radicals from dulling the skin. Plus, it’s a thermal insulator!

But as we move into Spring and Summer, where sebum secretion is at its highest, shiny skin becomes a problem. An increase of just 1 degree Celsius in skin temperature can increase sebum secretion by 10%! On the face, sebum production is highest on the cheeks and t-zone. Did you know that sebum production is actually higher in men than women but starts much earlier in woman! Ladies first, right?

Bioderma has released two new treatments to their Sebium range to offer a long term solution to target overactive sebum production to lastingly reduce blemishes, mattify the skin and refine the skin texture. Rather than stripping all the sebum (healthy and oxidised) Bioderma can seek biological solution to restore and normalise sebum quality to return the skin back to its healthy state.

Let's take you through a complete routine to managing your oily or acne prone skin.

Treat Oily Skin

So, how can we manage the shine? If sebum is the problem, get rid of it right? Well, its not that simple. You don’t want to strip away all the the sebum. You will have to find the balance. Don’t be afraid to moisturise when you have oily skin! In fact, it is recommended to moisturise with a lightweight and non-comedogenic product like the new Bioderma Sebium Mat Control moisturiser.

The mattifying powders and blurring agents will instantly mattify the surface whilst blurring out any blemishes. This cosmetic result is further enhanced with Salicylic acid which smooths and refines the skin texture. 

 

Treat Adult Acne

Acne. A bad high-school sweetheart that we wish to leave behind but manages to sneak its way back into our adult lives like a pesky ex. Rather than a temporary quick zap of a pimple, Bioderma offers long term solutions to target overactive sebum production, refine skin texture whilst limiting the appearance of blemishes by acting on the root of the cause; sebum. The new arrival of Sebium Sensitive is Bioderma's answer for sensitive acne prone skin.

Sebium Sensitive addresses the excess production of sebum and regulates its production to make sure the skin is not over or under producing sebum, preserving a healthy skin barrier and restoring its natural hydrating function for long term result against new pimples.
